Jeter's Next Big Swing

"I don't miss playings," says the retired Yankee, as the press-shy captain leads website The Players' Tribune, where DeAndre Jordan and Tiger Woods break news (sorry, ESPN) and backers are betting on a media home run

The British TV celeb spoke to THR Tuesday in Cannes while tub-thumbing for her latest series, Nigellisima, which airs on the BBC and which is being licensed internationally by the British pubcaster during the ongoing Mipcom TV market.

“I don’t see it myself,” Lawson mused, seemingly bemused and definitely not defensive about her reputation as the coquette of the international cooking coterie. “I do think I am an intense person, urgent even, but I certainly don’t have a strategy for making my shows sexy,” she said.

Lawson, whose bemused insouciance about such questions offsets the intensity of her persona, did hazard that “food itself is seductive on its own and getting that across in my shows is important.” She attributed the soft-focus, suggestive visuals of her shows to her “extraordinary DP” and suggested that close-ups can highlight things that she’d never consider were visible to the naked eye.
